Answer: Appellate Jurisdiction

The authority to re-examine a case that has already been tried and decided in a lower court is known as Appellate Jurisdiction.

Explanation:

Appellate jurisdiction refers to the judicial system in which the higher court has the power to review and revise a lower court's decision. Appellate courts are saddled with the responsibility of hearing and reviewing appeals from legal cases that have already been heard in a lower court. Appellate courts are in the state and federal levels.
